“I am looking forward to seeing the crowd and hearing them join in with the anthem. I am sure that they will be in good voice,” Miss Haig, 28, said.

The vocalist, who isn’t fazed by an audience of 30,000 people, has performed four times this year at Wembley Stadium on behalf of the Football League and Football Association and has also sang on the grid for both the GT and Prototype Cup.
